[1] God, I am ready, heart and soul, to sing and play songs of praise.
[2] Harps and lyres, let’s wake up the sun!
[3] Lord, we will praise you among the nations. We will praise you among other people.
[4] Lord, your love is higher than the skies. Your faithfulness is higher than the highest clouds.
[5] God, rise above the heavens! Let all the world see your glory.
[6] God, do this to save your friends. Answer my prayer and use your great power to save.
[7] God spoke in his temple: ”I will win the war and be happy about the victory! ˻I will divide this land among my people.˼ I will give them Shechem. I will give them Succoth Valley.
[8] Gilead and Manasseh will be mine. Ephraim will be my helmet. Judah will be my scepter.
[9] Moab will be a bowl for washing my feet. Edom will be a slave to carry my sandals. I ˻will defeat˼ the Philistines and shout about the victory.”
[10] Who will lead me into the enemy fortress? Who will lead me to fight against Edom?
[11] God, ˻only you can help me do these things˼. But you left us! You did not go with our army!
[12] God, please help us defeat our enemy! People can’t help us!
[13] Only God can make us strong. God can defeat our enemies!
